Hello,
Hopefully lots of you will be aware of our joint campaign with Stonewall: Gay - let's get over it. The idea is to challenge the casual use of homophobic language among children and young people, particularly in the context of its use at schools. We're here to ask you to take action.
Lots of you have said you're in agreement with the aims (see this thread and our webchat with the ever-marvellous Will Young.)
So - we'd like you to take some action please!
In order for real change to happen, schools need to know about the campaign, and they need to know that parents support it. We're asking MNers to contact their schools asking them to sign up to the campaign.
You can Tweet at your school on Twitter (if both you and the school have accounts 
); if you're Twitter-phobic, you could contact your school in other ways - on Facebook, by email, a good old-fashioned letter, or by marching up and down with a placard at pick-up time.* Nobble your headteacher, bend a governor's ear, recruit a mouthy pupil: the choice is yours. We've got sample tweets and shareable links on this page, downloadable guides for schools and parents here and posters for printing our and distributing here.
So do please ask your kids' school to get involved - and let us know how you get on.
Thanks
MNHQ
